Which parts of your Fairphone 2 had to be replaced?

I fully agree on this.

Replacing a µUSB socket is generally possible as there are not many variations.
Every half way ordinary electronics dealer should have them in stock.
They are all weak by design what´s the disadvantage of all miniaturized smd manufactured parts.
Haven´t you ever before heard of someone having troubles with his non-fairphone µUSB socket? At least that´s what I have.
Similar with the audio jack.

Modularity has to be kept in a meaningful way, otherwise there is no benefit. Most other phones are not modularized. It´s up to the user, in case he should get his fingers on to the required spare part to replace it, if he can. That´s the cheapest way. No unneeded parts to pay for. But we all know how well this works.

I´m afraid having to agree…:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Why not get yourself a magnetic charging cable, they are quite comfortable to use and not expensive. E.G. “Goobay” sell several of them. This could help you in such charging issues.

I am afraid the focus won´t be on this specifically. Otherwise someone else who tends to drop his phone want´s to have Gorilla Glass 5 and again someone else prefers to have a high quality steel metal frame, shock proof and water resist.
After all it´s still a phone folks. But I have news for some, Samsung, Sony etc. sell such tough models. And I think the price is even lower than for a FP2.

Imagine how ridiculous this would sound when stepping up to a car manufacturer. “You know Sir, I just shortly slightly bumped into an 18 wheeler…and…well, how to say…something on my car broke off :wink: So I really think you have a serious stability issue with the product you have sold me that requires a future advancement…and therefore this damage should be covered by warranty” :rofl:

See here.

There are several users including me who do not face any troubles with their µUSB or audio jack and I wonder how this is achieved. The only possibility I can imagine of is most probably there are already better, stronger FP2 out there.
